Comprehensive Reproductive Health and Education Act; create.

HB 1631, titled the "Comprehensive Reproductive Health and Education Act," would create a state program for high school students aged 16 and older in Mississippi. The bill requires school districts to opt in, providing medically accurate, evidence-based education on reproductive anatomy, contraception, STD/STI prevention, and healthy relationships - delivered by certified medical professionals or advocates with parental consent via a "permission slip." It mandates inclusive curriculum design, access to local health resources, and annual program reviews to assess effectiveness. The bill would take effect July 1, 2025, but died in committee in February 2025 and did not advance.
